Oj Alija Aljo

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oj Alija Alija ljiljanima babo
i tebi će leđa okrenuti švabo
Oj Alija Aljo primi hladan tuš
u brk ti se smije tvoj prijatelj Buš

Oj Alija Alija muslimanski izrode
prevešće te Tuđman žednog preko vode
Oj Alija Aljo male su ti međe
da si ost'o sa nama bile bi još veće

NEMA VIŠE TURSKIH PITA OD POSAVSKOG ZLATNOG ŽITA!

Oj Alija Alija ljut si na nas strašno
što ne možeš Srbina prodati za brašno
Oj Alija Aljo šta će tebi hrana
kol'ko bolan misliš imat Ramazana?

Oj Alija Alija izgubićeš čast
kad ti Tuđman ovce uzme a pošalje mast
Oj Alija Aljo tebi nešto fali
misliš da si veliki a tako si mali

NEMA VIŠE TURSKIH PITA OD POSAVSKOG ZLATNOG ŽITA!

Oj Alija Alija imaš grdnu manu
što si babo izabrao skroz pogrešnu stranu
Oj Alija Aljo šta ćeš bolan sada
izdala te izdala Tuđmanova garda

Oj Alija Alija i mi smo te zvali
al si htio da postaneš ti veliki Ali
Oj Alija Aljo možda nisi znao
visoko si poletio a nisko si pao





NEMA VIŠE TURSKIH PITA OD POSAVSKOG ZLATNOG ŽITA!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Koridor's song "Oj Alija Aljo" are a commentary on the Bosnian War and the relationship between different factions involved in the conflict. The song addresses Alija Izetbegović, the first president of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who is criticized for his decisions and leadership during the war. The beginning of the song takes a mocking tone towards Izetbegović, using the metaphor of him being surrounded by lily flowers, which are often associated with purity and innocence. Similarly, the phrase "u brk ti se smije tvoj prijatelj Buš" (your friend Bush is laughing in your face) suggests that his allies, such as George H.W. Bush, are not to be trusted and are mocking him for his actions.


As the song progresses, Izetbegović is further criticized for his alliance with Tuđman, the President of Croatia, and his perceived betrayal of his own people. The line "prevešće te Tuđman žednog preko vode" (Tuđman will lead you thirsty across the water) suggests that Izetbegović's alliance with Tuđman was not beneficial to the Bosniak people, and that he was more driven by personal ambition than loyalty to his own community.


The final verse of the song reinforces the idea that Izetbegović's decisions during the war led to negative consequences. The line "što si babo izabrao skroz pogrešnu stranu" (father, you chose completely the wrong side) echoes sentiments expressed by some Bosniaks who feel that Izetbegović's alliance with Tuđman was a mistake. The song ends with the refrain "NEMA VIŠE TURSKIH PITA OD POSAVSKOG ZLATNOG ŽITA!" (No more Turkish pies made from Posavina's golden wheat!), which implies that the war left many people hungry and that the country has been left impoverished.

english version is kinda broken but here it goes:

Oj Alijah Alijah to the lilies, grandma
They will turn their backs on you too
Oj Alija Aljo take a cold shower
Your friend Bush is laughing at you
Oh Alija Alija Muslim bastards
Thirsty Tudjman will carry you across the water
Oh Alija Alja, your limits are small
If you had stayed with us, they would have been even bigger
THERE ARE NO MORE TURKISH PIES MADE OF THE GOLDEN GRAIN OF POSAVI!
Oh Alija Alija, you are terribly angry with us
that you cannot sell a Serb for flour
Oh Alija Aljo, how about food for you?
How painful do you think Ramadan is?
Oh Aliya Aliya you will lose your honor
When Tuđman takes your sheep and sends fat
Oh Alija, Alja, you are missing something
You think you are big but you are so small
THERE ARE NO MORE TURKISH PIES MADE OF THE GOLDEN GRAIN OF POSAVI!
Oh Alia Alia, you have a breast defect
because you chose the wrong side, grandma
Oh Alija Aljo, what are you going to do now?
You were betrayed by Tuđman's guard
Oh Alija Alija, we called you too
But you wanted to become the great Ali
Oh Alija Aljo, maybe you didn't know
You flew high and fell low
THERE ARE NO MORE TURKISH PIES MADE OF THE GOLDEN GRAIN OF POSAVI!
